Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by the American American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that the requirements for due process, National consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Standard Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution.

The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.

The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard.

CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.

ii Foreword (this forward is not part of American National Standard MH10.8.2-2010)

The Federation of Automatic Coding Technologies (FACT) developed a standard for Data Identifiers (DIs) in 1989. In early 1990 FACT submitted the FACT Data Identifier Standard dated 2 October 1989 to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This standard was approved in 1991 and has been published as ANSI/FACT-1-1991.

In 1991 the Uniform Code Council (GS1) and the EAN International (EAN), known as GS1, adopted an expanded list of application identifiers which served many of the same purposes as had been accomplished with FACT DIs. These GS1 identifiers are known as Application Identifiers (AIs).

The existence of two approaches to accomplish the same level of identification became a burden to those companies supplying general trade product to many customers. FACT was asked to develop a standard that would harmonize these two approaches.

The stated mission of the GS1 is to enable "...related distribution channels to operate more efficiently and effectively while contributing added value..." to the end user. FACT's mission statement included a charge to "...reduce the proliferation of conflicting bar code standards..." to achieve similar efficiencies.

Recognizing their common missions, FACT and GS1 committed to the development of a committee that would issue a comprehensive dictionary of Data and Application Identifiers. The dictionary would be submitted to ANSI as a revision for ANSI/FACT-1, 1991. On December 31, 1992, the FACT organization was dissolved. Prior to its dissolution, the Sub-committee 8 of Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) MH10 agreed to continue its maintenance and assume responsibility for the document.

It is the mission of this committee to develop a comprehensive dictionary of Data and Application Identifiers, assign new Data Identifiers, as required, and to provide a document detailing the correlation, or mapping, of Data Identifiers to Application Identifiers, where a correlation exists.

As with any American National standard, new requirements are identified and interested parties request the assignment of new Data Identifiers and Application Identifiers to meet the needs of a particular industry or activity. ANSI has designated this standard as being “Under Continuous Maintenance”. Proposed changes to the standard that are accepted by the MH10.8.2 Data Identifier Committee shall be integrated into the previously published version at the recommendation of the committee. Upon approval of the new version by MH10 Subcommittee 8 and the full MH10 committee, the standard will be published as a new version.

The committee plans to incorporate accepted revisions into the standard as frequently as necessary, but in no case will a published revised standard be issued more frequently than yearly, in line with indicated needs and industry developments. Each accepted revision since the last published version shall be identified in a “Document Maintenance Summary” appearing immediately before the Table of Contents of the standard.

This standard has been updated from the last published issue of ANS MH10.8.2 representing the third five- year revision of the standard, published in 2006, published in 2002; the first revision occurring in 1995. Requests received subsequent to the date of the standard will be added to the draft standard for trial use and will be considered for incorporation at the fourth five-year revision of the standard.

Users desiring assignment of new Data Identifiers may submit their request to the ANSI MH 10 DI Maintenance Chairman, Craig K. Harmon ((V): +1 319/364-0212 ¥ (E): [email protected]).

Users desiring assignment of new Application Identifiers may submit their request to http://www.gs1.org/.

6 20K license identifiers, 26S equipment identifiers and, subject to certain conditions, 18V party identifiers can be used as the root component of 26T batch identifiers and of ISO/IEC 15459 transport unit identifiers. To ensure uniqueness of the latter, it is essential that such identifiers differ not only from all other identifiers of the same class, but also from all other identifiers of other classes. That is, the specifications of the issuing agency concerned are required to ensure that a 20K license identifier is distinct both from other 20K license identifiers and from 26S equipment identifiers, 18V party identifiers, license plates, etc. Since component-based transport unit identifiers are constructed by simple concatenation, it is also required that one root component cannot be derived from another by adding characters to it. 13 v10a American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

SECTION VI HIERARCHICAL LEVELS - Data Identifier “F”

When the Data Identifier “F” is used in Data Identifier looping structures the format shall follow the format defined in this Section. See Annex L for usage rules of Data Identifiers 1F, 2F, and 3F for Returnable Packaging Items.

As the application of automatic data capture (ADC) storage media became more sophisticated it became possible to store more item data about more items in a single medium. Data capacities increased from the single data element linear bar code to concatenated symbols to two-dimensional symbols to high capacity RF tags to contact memory buttons to optical memory cards and micro compact disks. It became possible to store information about multiple orders on a shipment, multiple containers or pallets per order, multiple part numbers per order, multiple containers per part number, and multiple serial numbers per part number.

As this sophistication increased so increased the need to provide a structure for such data in order to ensure that there was an unambiguous relationship of a serial number (or lot number / expiration date) all of the way up to the order and shipment level. It would have been possible to create a unique structure for ADC media. However, the world of electronic data interchange (EDI) has faced this issue for many years. After careful analysis ASC MH 10/SC 8 decided to follow the lessons learned from the EDI community, namely the creation a structured looping of data.

The X12 EDI Ship Notice/Manifest (Transaction 856) is a hierarchical document, that is, the electronic document which can: ¥ Represent one or several shipments in a single Ship Notice/Manifest, ¥ Each shipment can consist of one or several orders in a single shipment, ¥ Each order can consist of one or several pallets (tares) in a single order, ¥ Each pallet can consist of one or several cartons (packs) in a single pallet, ¥ Each carton can consist of one or several inner packs (sub-packs) in a single carton, ¥ Each sub-pack can consist of one or several items in a single sub-pack, and ¥ Each item can consist of one or several components in a single item.

Data should be encoded at the hierarchical level to which it logically applies. For example, shipment data at the shipment level, order information at the order level, tare (pallet) information at the tare level, carton information at the carton level, etc. To avoid unnecessary data redundancy it may be preferable to encode data at a higher level. For example, if a shipment involves only one order, order information could be transmitted at the shipment level. Also, if the only package information needed is the label serial number (license plate) and there is one per item then the package data can be specified at the item level. As a general rule data can be specified at a higher level as long as it does not create confusion with similar data at the same level. Weights dimensions, quantities, and license plates are examples of data which are used in multiple levels and could create confusion if levels are combined.

The following example depicts the detail area of the Ship Notice/ Manifest transaction in the traditional manner.

The purpose of such structure looping is to facilitate the identification of dependencies among the content of related groups of data segments. Several methods existed, however, the SC 8 committee settled on the use of hierarchical structures similar to the ASC X12 EDI 856 Ship Notice/Manifest transaction.

Within the X12 856 transaction set the “HL segment” is comprised of four data elements (DE). These are

Table VI Ð 1 Ð ASC X12 856 “HL Segment”

DE DE DE DE DE DE Length Reference Identifier Name Requirement Type (Min/Max) HL01 628 Hierarchical ID Number M AN1 1/12 HL02 734 Hierarchical Parent ID O AN 1/12 Number HL03 735 Hierarchical Level Code M ID2 1/2 HL04 736 Hierarchical Child Code O ID 1/1 Note1 Ð A string data element is a sequence of any characters from the character set and contains at least one non-space character. The significant characters shall be left justified. Leading spaces, when they occur, are presumed to be significant characters. In the actual data stream, trailing spaces should be suppressed. The representation for this data element is AN.

Note2 Ð An identifier data element always contains a unique value from a single, predefined list of values that is maintained in ASC X12 or some other body recognized by ASC X12 and identified by a reference in Appendix A of X12.3 Data Element Dictionary. Trailing spaces should be suppressed. The representation for this data element type is ID.

59 v10a American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

The X12 856 HL segment is used to identify levels of detail information using a hierarchical structure, such as relating line-item data to shipment data and packaging data to line-item data. The 856 HL segment defines a top- down/left-right ordered structure.

HL01 shall contain a unique alphanumeric number for each occurrence of the HL segment in the transaction set. For example, HL01 could be used to indicate the number of occurrences of the HL segment in which case the value of HL01 would be "1" for the initial HL segment and would be incremented by one in each subsequent HL segment within the transaction.

HL02 identifies the hierarchical ID number of the HL segment to which the current HL segment is subordinate.

HL03 indicates the context of the series of segments following the current HL segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment in the transaction. For example, HL03 is used to indicate that subsequent segments in the HL loop form a logical grouping of data referring to shipment, order, or item-level information.

HL04 indicates whether or not there are subordinate (or child) segments related to the current HL segment. ("0" indicates that there are no subordinate segments; "1" indicates that there are subordinate segments)

It would be possible to encode an entire EDI transaction into a machine-readable medium, however there is substantial overhead within EDI to facilitate the routing of the message. Since, in the case of machine-readable media, the medium accompanies the routed item the overhead is unnecessary information. And while the data carrying capacity of machine-readable media has increased substantially, wherever a systems designer can reduce the number of encoded characters, the better is the design.

ASC MH 10/SC 8 took the basic Hierarchical Level (HL) structure and made two modifications. Both involved the variable length nature of the EDI HL with each of the data elements separated by a data element separator versus a machine-readable media requirement for defined lengths and short fields. Since the committee did not wish to use separator characters, because of increasing the length of the field, fixed length data elements were used where ever possible. Further, the length of the Hierarchical ID Number was fixed at two (2). With the character set of 0-9 and A-Z, a length of 2 characters yields 1,296 permutations. Ninety-nine (99) and even thirty- six (36) permutations were considered ample in most cases, however several real-life examples of different parts with associated serial numbers caused the ASC MH 10/SC 8 to go to a second character position. The Hierarchical Child Code identifier and the Hierarchical Level Code identifier were swapped positionally since the Hierarchical Level Code was variable length. Placing the variable length field at the end of the composite field provided unambiguous meaning to each of the sub-fields.

This yielded the format for the Hierarchical Level Data Identifier “F”. The purpose of Data Identifier “F” is to identify dependencies among the content of hierarchically related groups of data segments. The structure of this DI is as follows with all parts required:

While the complete set of Hierarchical Level Code identifiers can be found in ANS X12, Data Element 735, the following represent what ASC MH 10/SC 8 considers to be the most commonly used identifiers:

Table VI Ð 3 Ð Commonly Used Hierarchical Level Codes

Level Identifier Description

Data that applies to the whole shipment, such as bill of lading Shipment S number, lading quantity, supplier code, etc. Data related to the sender's order and the associated Order O receiver's original purchase order. The tare level is used to identify pallets. If there are no Tare T identifiable pallets, this level may be omitted. The pack level is used to identify the cartons within which the Pack P item is shipped, e.g., label serial numbers. In most cases there will be some sort of packs. Data related to a grouping of identifiable packages within the Sub-pack Q pack level. Note that this level is only used when the inner pack has identifiable numbers for each inner pack. Item I Stock keeping unit (SKU) identification data. Component F Data related to the manufacturer’s component Serial # X Data related to the manufacturer’s serial number

Consequently, for machine-readable media the structure “F08041P” would mean: “F” Data Identifier 08 Level of this hierarchy, e.g., a case on a pallet 04 Level of the parent hierarchy, e.g., the pallet 1 Yes, there are children to the case P Pack

The telecommunication industry concluded that they do not require the Ship To information encoded in the machine-readable media that would accompany the shipment. If the complete EDI transaction were encoded, including the 71 characters associated with the ST, BSN, CTT, and SE segments and the 161 characters associated with the ISA, GS, GE, and IEA segments the complete EDI message would have been 716 (484+71+161) characters in length as opposed to the 285 when encoded with Data Identifiers.

ANNOTATED LISTING OF ASSIGNED CATEGORIES

ACTIVITY REFERENCE CATEGORY 23 This category relates to work activities, such as Work Order, Operation and Sequence numbers. It should not be confused with Category 11 (Transaction Reference), which relates to purchasing transactions.

CONTAINER INFORMATION CATEGORY 2 This category relates to identification of returnable containers such as compressed gas cylinders, wire reels, transportation equipment and other returnable-type containers. While many of these numbers are serial numbers, this category exists to provide an easy distinction between container serial number and product or label serial number referenced in Category 19 (Traceability Number for an Entity).

DATE CATEGORY 4 This category relates to a variety of date structures, as well as to the significance of the date (e.g., Date of Manufacture or Expiration Date).

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS CATEGORY 5 This category relates to identification of environmental issues such as temperature, air pressure, wind speed, and similar measurements. Where Category 5 defines environmental measurements, Category 17 defines physical measurements.

FIELD CONTINUATION CATEGORY 3 This category relates to the continuation of data from a defined field which must be broken into two symbols because of space or other constraints. Only some of the assigned DI fields have valid continuation assignments.

HUMAN RESOURCES CATEGORY 8 This category relates to personnel identification.

INDUSTRY ASSIGNED CODES CATEGORY 14 This category relates to code or numbering systems that are controlled by and specific to a specific industry or governmental agency (e.g., NATO Stock Number). This allows for unambiguous identification of those code systems within the ANSI MH10.8.2 DI framework without necessitating the assignment of unique ANSI MH10.8.2 DIs for those items that have little or no relevance to those outside that industry or governmental agency.

INTERNAL APPLICATIONS CATEGORY 25 This category relates to the use of DIs for purposes that will remain within a closed system and for which a valid ANSI MH10.8.2 DI cannot provide unambiguous reference. For use within a single manufacturing facility, for example, the use of the Internal Applications DI (Y) could precede any other ANSI MH10.8.2 DI which could be defined, in that instance, for a purpose which is not in conformance with these guidelines.

ITEM INFORMATION CATEGORY 16 This category relates to the identification or characteristics of an item (see definitions), such as its Part Number, Manufacturing Revision Level or its Classification as a Hazardous Material. An item is something that is not identified as a unique entity but rather as representative of all other like items (see Definitions for further information). Additional DIs (20P-24P and 30P-34P) are set aside for descriptive information not otherwise provided for and which is defined between trading partners or intended for internal use (but with messages that will leave the system, precluding the use of a Category 25 DI). This category should not be confused with Category 19, Traceability Number for an Entity, nor Category 20, Traceability Number for a Group of Entities, both of which provide for identification of unique entities (see definitions).

71 v10a American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

LICENSE PLATE CATEGORY 10 This category relates to a worldwide unique identification of a transport unit or a unitized load (e.g., shipping container or pallet). Each DI is comprised of a unique Issuing Agency Code (IAC) assigned pursuant to ISO/IEC 15429, a world-wide unique organizational/entity/company identification number assigned by the IAC, and a unique transport unit/unitized load number assigned by the organization, entity, or company9.

LOCATION CATEGORY 12 This category relates to either a physical location that is used as a reference point (such as a Shelf Location) or to a physical location that is used as a destination reference (such as a Ship To address). Of particular note are the assignments 51L-52L and 54L-55L that relate to postal codes used as shipping addresses. These two sets of DIs provide for both domestic and international use (with an ISO country code suffix).

LOOPING CATEGORY 6 This category relates to the parent/child relationship between various fields of data, using pre-existing techniques from electronic data interchange. An example is where a shipment contains multiple orders over multiple pallets, multiple packages, multiple items, with multiple serial numbers. Using techniques described within Annex F of this document it is possible to relate a given serial number with a specific order.

MAINTENANCE CODES CATEGORY 13 This category identifies specific codes used in maintenance functions, including those functions expressed over time such as machine-on time, mean-time-between-failure, and the like.

MEASUREMENT CATEGORY 17 This category relates to physical dimensions, measures, quantity or monetary value of an item or group of items (may refer to entities as well). Of particular note is the assignment 7Q that is quantity followed by an ANSI Data Element 355 description of unit of measure. To indicate that there are n cartons in the shipment with x items per carton, either two 7Q fields can appear in the same message with appropriate ANSI modifiers or a 7Q can be used with a Q (generic quantity) with the significance mutually defined.

MISCELLANEOUS CATEGORY 18 This category relates to DIs that cannot otherwise be categorized (currently contains Return Authorization Codes).

MUTUALLY DEFINED CATEGORY 26 This category relates to data or information which has not been assigned a DI within this document and which trading partners need to include in their automatic identification application. The structure and significance of this information is to be agreed upon by all appropriate parties to the transaction.

PARTY TO THE TRANSACTION CATEGORY 22 This category relates to codes that identify all business entities that may be a party to a transaction (e.g., Vendor Number, Customer Number or Carrier Number).

SPECIAL CHARACTERS CATEGORY 0 This category relates to the use of a non-alpha, non-numeric character in the first data position of an automatic identification message (e.g., bar code) to identify the message as being controlled by a specific organization (e.g., Health Industry Business Communications Council, Uniform Code Council).

TRACEABILITY NUMBER FOR AN ENTITY CATEGORY 19 This category relates to the identification of a specific item (entity) in a unique manner for purposes of tracing that entity. Codes with this category DIs may identify a finished product or they may identify packaging that contains multiple entities if the packaging is what is being tracked. If a DI from this category is used, an identical message on another entity should never be found within the originating system. For example, a television's serial number is a traceability number for an entity, as is a unique number assigned to a carton to identify it in conjunction with an EDI transaction. This category should not be confused with Category 16 (Item Identification), which provides for

9 Note: An exception within the License Plate category is the inclusion of “7J” Vehicle Registration License Plate Number (not unique without identification of country and issuing governmental region/authority)

TRACEABILITY NUMBER FOR GROUPS OF ENTITIES CATEGORY 20 This category relates to the identification of a lot, batch or other grouping of entities for purposes of tracing that group. Additional DIs (20T-24T and 30T-34T) have been set aside for additional information which is not otherwise provided for and which is mutually defined between trading partners or intended for internal use (but with messages which will leave the system, precluding the use of a Category 25 DI). This should not be confused with Category 19 (Traceability Number for an Entity) or Category 16 (Item Identification).

TRANSACTION REFERENCE CATEGORY 11 This category relates to the identification of agreements or correspondence that is involved in the sale, purchase or transportation of goods or services. This category is distinct from Category 23 (Activity Reference) that relates to the production of such goods and/or services.

UPU / MH 10/SC8/WG2 AGREED UPON CODES CATEGORY 21 This category relates to a set of identifiers (“5U” to “55U”) that may be unique to the nature of the business of the United Postal Union (UPU) postal authorities that might not otherwise be used within the supply chain. The agreement between the UPU and ANSI MH10/SC 8/WG 2 is such that the UPU will endeavor to use DIs common to the rest of the marketplace. Only where there is a unique postal requirement for a unique DI, UPU may utilize one or more of the Category 21 DIs with the collaboration of ANSI MH10/SC 8/WG 2.

APPLICATION NOTES

The ANSI MH10.8.2 DI Standard addresses general requirements for Data Identifiers. Industry- or company-wide application standards will further define and regulate the use of any or all Data Identifiers in this document.

The basic structure of a ANSI MH10.8.2 DI is an alphabetic character preceded by 1, 2, 3 or no numeric digits. To decode a ANSI MH10.8.2 DI, software must parse the data up to the first alphabetic character and then evaluate that alphabetic character and the preceding numeric characters, if any.

However, it is recognized that some organizations will face implementation problems that cannot be fully covered in the general guidelines or that additional information on the intended use of certain of the DIs assigned in this document will be needed. The following application notes may be of some assistance.

The following topics are discussed in this Annex. C.1 CAUTION ABOUT THE USE OF GS1 NUMBERS C.2 USE OF ANSI AND ISO DATA ELEMENT IDENTIFIERS C.3 DATE SIGNIFICANCE C.4 LOCATION CODING C.4.1 - Ship From, Ship To, Ship For C.4.2 - Multiple Levels of Location Marking C.5 ITEM IDENTIFICATION C.6 QUANTITY C.6.1 - Quantity Followed by Unit of Measure C.6.2 - Monetary Value C.6.3 - Number of a Carton Within Shipment C.7 PACKAGING IDENTIFICATION C.7.1 - Master Pack Identification C.7.2 - Lowest Level of Packaging C.8 LOT/BATCH IDENTIFICATION C.9 ASSIGNMENT "4K" C.10 ASSIGNMENT "18K" Structured Reference C.11 Unique Identification of Items

75 v10a American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

C.1 A CAUTION ON THE USE OF GS1 NUMBERS

When cited within this document, references to GS1vendor or part numbers, or a combination of them, shall not be deemed to imply any use that is governed by GS1.

A number of industries have mandated that their members secure GS1 numbers in order to provide a common vendor numbering system. However, many of these organizations also employ alphanumeric coding schemes and/or include additional information that is not provided for by any GS1 standard and, therefore, are not in compliance with GS1 specifications.

These applications are valid only for the respective industries which have issued standards which accept GS1 numbering in addition to other numbering systems which require alpha-numeric symbologies or which have otherwise mandated the use of these numbering systems.

In no case should ANSI MH10.8.2 DIs be used in conjunction with, or in place of, approved GS1symbols for retail or POS applications for which the GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) has been mandated. In all such cases, only the appropriate GS1standards and specifications shall be applicable.

Questions on the use of GS1 numbering systems and standards, as well as the use of the GS1 bar code symbologies, can be obtained from the respective agency (address listed in this document).

C.2 THE USE OF ANSI AND ISO DATA ELEMENT IDENTIFIERS

For some DI assignments, qualifiers (suffixes) are used to provide additional significance to the data in the message. These qualifiers are drawn from ANSI and ISO Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards. In all cases the current "Draft Standard Approved for Trial Use" shall be the authoritative document.

In some instances, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X12.3 Data Element Qualifiers are used. In other instances, International Standards Organization (ISO) codes are used. ANSI MH10.8.2 would prefer to use internationally accepted (ISO) codes for all applications but ISO standards do not exist for all needs.

EDIFACT, the United Nations EDI Standard, does provide codes for applications for which ANSI standards are referenced. However, EDIFACT does not yet have a practical coordination and review body that could assign additional codes as needed.

Insofar as this will be a dynamic document that will evolve new assignments in order to meet the needs of automatic identification users around the world, it was felt that an organization, which did have a professional staff to be responsive to requests, was essential. For this reason, ANSI standards have been used where necessary.

V10a 76 American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

C.3 DATE SIGNIFICANCE

Provisions are made for various data codings in Category 4. Most DIs pertain to a specific date structure (e.g., DDMMYY) but do not specify the significance of the date.

In many applications, the structure of the date is mandated but the significance of the date is mutually agreed between trading partners and assignments ("D"-"5D") may be used in these cases.

Further, when both the structure and significance of the date is mutually defined, the assignment "9D" may be used.

However, when the significance of the date must be included, the assignments "6D" and "7D" use an ANSI Qualifier following the date to indicate its significance. The following examples show how this might be applied.

Example: Date Significance DI/Data/ANSI Qualifier Date of Manufacture (2-digit year, month, day) 6D890420049 Expiration Date (4-digit year, month, day) 7D20051231036

C.4 LOCATION CODING

The following topics are covered in this note. Location coding is covered in Category 12. - "Ship From", "Ship To", "Ship For" location codes - Multiple levels of location, marking.

C.4.1 Ship From, Ship To, Ship For

In order to facilitate automated sortation and routing of shipments, location codes for shipping locations have been provided. The assignments provides for three possible locations. - Ship From - Ship To - Ship For (mutually defined)

There are two different sets of assignments for "Ship From" and "Ship To" location:

- Mutually defined or industry standard ("3L" & "2L") - Postal code location ("51L" & "52L" and "54L" & "55L")

The use of mutually defined or industry standards will not be discussed here other than to note that the "Ship For" destination code (5L) will generally be printed by the supplier at the customer's request and used by the customer to facilitate automated internal routing of shipments. The "Ship For" code will, therefore, have significance only to the customer.

The use of postal authority codes (postal codes) does, however, merit some discussion. In this section, only the "open system" ANSI MH10.8.2 DIs will be discussed.

77 v10a American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

General Considerations

When postal codes are used which fall within the jurisdiction of a single postal authority (generally, the same country), there is no ambiguity of the location referred to. These are assignments "51L" ("Ship From") and "52L" ("Ship To").

However, postal coding systems around the world may present ambiguities to computer systems. For example, many European postal codes, as well as others around the world, are 4-digit numeric codes. Thus, the postal code "6300" could exist in more than one country. Without a means for identifying the country that administers that particular postal code, the data is meaningless.

Within Europe there is a postal convention that allows the inclusion of a country code preceding the numeric code. Following this convention, "CH-6300" refers to a Swiss (Confederation Helvetia) postal code.

Most postal authorities do not have such conventions, however, so another means of identifying the postal authority is needed - one that does not conflict with the European convention.

The ANSI MH10.8.2 DI Standard uses 2-character ISO country codes following the postal code for this purpose.

The following protocol is used in the ANSI MH10.8.2 DI Standard.

"Domestic" Postal Codes If the shipment is within a single country or postal authority, use of the appropriate "domestic" DI ("51L" or "52L") preceding the postal code is all that is required. For the European postal convention countries, the "domestic" postal code DIs may be used with the proper country prefix included in the data portion of the labeling device (e.g., bar code label, RFID tag).

"International" Postal Codes If the shipment is to move between countries or postal authorities, the appropriate "international" DI ("54L" or "55L") preceding the postal code will indicate that an ISO country code follows the postal code.

Example 1: "Domestic" shipments (within the same postal authority).

Location City, Country DI/Postal Code

"Ship From" Zug, Switzerland 51L6300 "Ship To" Geneva, Switzerland 52L1216

Example 2: "Domestic" shipments (within the European postal convention)

Location City, Country DI/Country/Postal Code

"Ship From" Zug, Switzerland 51LCH6300 "Ship To" Brussels, Belgium 52LB1150

V10a 78 American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

Example 3: Shipment between postal authorities

Location City, Country DI/Postal Code/ISO Qualifier

"Ship From" Zug, Switzerland 54L6300CH "Ship To" Morley, Western Australia 55L6062AU

NOTE: Italics and bold are used for emphasis and are not used in actual coding.

It should also be noted that the longest possible bar code (excluding start, stop and symbology check characters) will be 14 characters (3-character DI, 9-digit U.S.A. Zip Code, 2-character ISO country code).

C.4.2 Multiple Levels of Location Marking

Provision is made in this document for multiple levels of location marking ("1L", "20L"- "24L"). These are considered to be for internal or mutually defined use.

The "Location" assignment is considered to be "generic" and is kept to two characters to reduce symbol length.

For applications that require further differentiation or a hierarchical method of indicating location and require that information in the DI, the "First Level" through "Fifth Level" assignments is provided. An example of their use is indicated below.

Example 1: Hierarchical Location

Location Description DI

Building Number 1L File Storage Room Number 20L File Cabinet Row Number 21L File Cabinet Number 22L File Cabinet Drawer Number 23L File Number 24L

Example 2: Location Differentiation

Location Description DI

Building Number 1L Machine Tool Location Number 20L Physical Plant Equipment Location Number 21L Routing Location Number 22L Asset Control Room/Location Number 23L Mail Stop 24L

C.5 ITEM IDENTIFICATION

Product identification DIs are assigned in Category 16, "Item Information." Multiple levels of identification are provided for both supplier ("1P" and "30P"-"34P") and customer ("P" and "20P" - "24P").

The "1P" and "P" assignments are intended to be the most commonly used DIs. However, many business entities have additional requirements that suggest the use of additional DIs for product identification. The following examples show how they might be used.

Example 1: Multiple Product Characteristics (as assigned by supplier)

Description DI

Shoe Style Number 1P Length 30P Width 31P Color 32P Material 33P Trim 34P

Example 2: Multiple Product Identifications (as assigned by customer)

Description DI

Part Number P Old Catalog Number 20P New Catalog Number 21P Additional information 22P Additional information 23P Additional information 24P

C.6 QUANTITY

Quantity, number of pieces, or “amount” DIs are assigned in Category 17, "Measurement." The following topics are covered in this section.

- Quantity followed by a unit of measure - Monetary value followed by a unit of measure - Number of cartons within a shipment

C.6.1 Quantity Followed by Unit of Measure

For applications in which the quantity that will be referred is unambiguous and clearly understood between trading partners, the assignment "Q" should be used. Other assignments exist for other, defined, measures.

However, where there is more than one quantity or where the unit of measure needs to be specified, the assignment "7Q" allows for qualification of the value through the use of an 2-digit ANSI Unit of Measure Code.

The unit of measure code immediately follows the data. Because of the ability to qualify the amount, more than one "7Q" message may be found on a single labeling device.

V10a 80 American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

The following examples show how this could be applied.

Example: Quantity, Measure

Measure DI/Data/ANSI Qualifier Number of pieces in box (mutually defined) Q144 (no qualifier) Weight of each piece (in kilograms) 7Q21.25KG Rated capacity (in kilowatt hours) 7Ql2KH Overall length (in inches, decimal, nominal) 7Q35.6ED

C.6.2 Value

Provision is made for the definition of unit of value ("12Q") by using an ISO country/currency code following the data. The use of this DI must be mutually defined between trading partners. The following examples show how this could be applied.

Example: Value of Item

Description DI/Data/ISO Qualifier Value of each piece in U.S. Dollars ($12.75) 12Q12.75USD or Value of shipment in U.S. Dollars ($14,500) 12Ql4500USD

C.6.3 Number of Carton Within Shipment

A DI has been assigned to allow information concerning the number of a carton within a shipment ("13Q"). The structure of the data follows the format: n/x where: n is the number of the carton within the shipment / is the separator between numeric fields (must be encoded) x is the total number of cartons in the shipment.

Examples:

Description DI/Data 5th carton in shipment of 6 cartons 13Q5/6 127th carton in shipment of 127 cartons 13Ql27/127

C.7 PACKAGING IDENTIFICATION

Package Identification DIs are assigned in Category 19, "Traceability Number for an Entity." These identifiers are used on labeling devices (e.g., trading partner bar code transaction labels) attached to packaging.

The following topics are discussed in this section.

- Master packaging identification - customer order reference - Identification of lowest level of packaging

Packaging identification generally is a unique number that identifies that package from all other packages. This number is usually used in conjunction with a supplier identification to provide a completely unique number.

81 v10a American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

Master packs (sometimes referred to as "unit loads") are transport units either made up of a number of filled transport packages or items held together by pallet, slip sheet, strapping, etc. or comprised of a single large container expressly designed to make items suitable for transportation, stacking, and storage as a unit.

Many industry standards require lower levels of packaging identification (using a lower level DI) within Master Packs to complete a transaction process. Trading partners are encouraged to utilize the lowest level DI and configure shipments accordingly.

C.7.1 Master Pack Identification

Provision is made for identification of the following information on the master packaging label ("4S"-"7S").

- Whether items within the package are the same or different. - Whether items within the package are covered by one customer order or more than one customer order.

Assignments "4S" and "5S"

Assignments "4S" and "5S" are used when the items in the shipment are covered under the same customer order. The "4S" DI is used when the items are the same. The "5S" DI is used when the items are not the same.

If there is no interest in identifying whether single or multiple customer orders are contained within the packaging and there is a strong argument against using all four DIs, then all shipments should be identified as being "on the same customer order" (i.e., not referenced) and "4S " and "5S " can be used.

Assignments "6S" and "7S" The "6S" and "7S" DIs are used to indicate that the items in the package are covered by multiple customer orders. "6S" is used when the items are the same, "7S" when the items are not the same.

Implicit in the use of "6S" and "7S" is the assumption that "4S" and "5S" DIs will also be encountered by the reading system.

See the next section for information about labels at lower levels within master packaging.

C.7.2 Lowest Level of Packaging

In some instances, packaging identification labels (other than part number) will be affixed to packaging within a master pack. A DI is provided to indicate that no further levels of packaging identification will be found within the package ("3S").

It is assumed that "3S" will be affixed to packaging which contains like items and that no further scanning will be required for package tracking purposes.

It is assumed that "3S" will usually be placed on packaging that is intended for transport or storage and will contain sub-packs on which only item identification is found. "3S" labels will generally be found on intermediate packaging occurring between the Product Identification and Master Packaging. It is further assumed that the "3S" symbol will generally be found within a master pack which contains a DI from the range "4S - "7S".

V10a 82 American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

C.8 LOT/BATCH IDENTIFICATION

Lot and batch identification DIs are assigned in Category 20, "Traceability Number for Groups of Entities." Multiple levels of identification are provided for both supplier ("T" and "30T"-"34T") and customer ("lT" and "20T"- "24T").

The "T" and "1T" assignments are intended to be the most commonly-used DIs. However, many business entities have additional requirements that suggest the use of additional DIs for product identification. The following examples show how they might be used.

Example: Multiple Lot/Batch Information (as assigned by supplier) Description DI Lot Number 1T Production Batch Number 30T Testing Batch Number 31T Shipment Lot Number 32T Additional information 33T Additional information 34T

C.9 ASSIGNMENT "4K"

"Line number of the order assigned by the Customer to identify a Purchasing Transaction." This DI refers to the physical line number of an order on which a large number of items are requested. In some trading relationships, master orders are issued which cover a specified period of time and products are released against the order over time. The process simplifies paperwork for routinely ordered items that are not to be shipped in a single lot.

In such an instance, a simple reference to an order number (e.g., Purchase Order, Work Order, etc.) is not sufficient. For these instances, the "4K" data refers to the specific line of the order in which the product or service is referenced.

The line number and order may refer to electronic or paper transactions.

83 v10a American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

C.10 ASSIGNMENT "18K" Structured Reference

Many data identifier allocations correspond to identifiers, (e.g., bar code) representations that are intended to be engraved or printed on, or affixed to, the physical objects they identify. Container identifiers (category B), License Plates (J), Item Identifiers (P), Traceability Numbers (S) fall into this category.

These identifiers are also commonly used in communications about the objects they identify. Where such communications are purely electronic, it is self evident that what is communicated is a reference to the object identified. However, particularly in the postal world and in logistics applications, there are situations in which it is desirable to communicate such reference information in the form of a bar code (or 2D symbol or RF tag) that is printed on or attached to a physical object other than the object which is identified.

In such cases, the data identifier corresponding to the type of identifier cannot be used to identify the data, since otherwise, an automated system would be unable to distinguish between the physical object identified and the object carrying a reference to it.

For example, in the domain of license plates, a number of items carrying, say, license plates JJ1, JJ5, JJ7 and JJ10 might be grouped, for transport purposes, into an aggregate carrying license plate 2JJ4 (or put into a container with Container Identifier 5BJ7. Bar codes (or 2D symbols) on the aggregate (or container) may need to list the content of the aggregate. They cannot use the license plate DI for this since, otherwise, an automated system might read one of the reference bar-codes, interpret it as the license plate attached to the referenced object, and process the aggregate as if it were the particular individual item concerned. A similar scenario may occur in postal processing, where batch cards (which may be physically indistinguishable from postal items) are used to list the identifiers of the items that comprise the batch.

The solution to this problem requires that there be a clear distinction between an identifier that is part of, or attached to, the object identified and an identifier reference. This can only be achieved by use of a different data identifier. For this, three possibilities have been identified:

1. create a separate DI, in the category concerned, for each case; 2. create a separate DI, in category K (transaction reference), for each case; 3. allocate a single category K DI, embedding both the referenced identifier and its original DI value into the data.

Of these, the first two call for the allocation of many DI’s and risk confusion, since it would be impossible to maintain any consistency of correspondence between the numeric prefixes used for references and the prefixes for the original objects. Approach 3 is therefore proposed as being both simple and elegant.

Structure: identification code, license plate or traceability number for an object or entity, prefixed by the data identifier used for encoding that identification code on the object itself.

Example: Suppose that a parcel has license plate, issued under the UPU Issuing Agency Code, JGBA123456789.

This will be encoded on the parcel, using Data Identifier J. The parcel label will thus carry a bar code, including the DI, specifically: JJGBA123456789.

The corresponding Structured Reference is thus JJGBA123456789. When encoded in a bar code or other media, it will be prefixed by the DI for a Structured Reference, i.e. as 18KJJGBA123456789.

Similarly, a bar code reference to an aggregate transport unit (DI 2J) with license plate JGBA456789123 would be encoded as 18K2JJGBA456789123.

V10a 84 American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2010 (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002, 2006) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

C.11 Unique Identification of Items

The intended use of Data Identifier (DI) 25S is to indicate that the data following the DI represents a concatenated data string that uniquely identifies an item. The 25S data string is formed from two segments which are an 18V segment and a supplier assigned serial number segment. The serial number assigned by the supplier (designated by the 18V segment) must be unique for that supplier.

The 18V segment is as defined in section 1.

The serial number segment consists of a unique serial number for the Company Identification Number (CIN) in 18V. For companies that serialize within part number, and/or lot/batch, methods for creating unique item identification within the serial number segments are:

part number + serial number (unique for that part number for the CIN) lot/batch number + serial number (unique within the lot/batch for the CIN)

Data strings following 18V should not be parsed to obtain the component data elements.

USER GUIDANCE (INFORMATIVE)

The choice of Application or Data Identifiers will normally be defined in the applicable industry convention being followed. Industries and companies following the GS1 system of bar codes for retail and general trade goods should use Application Identifiers. Other industries developing product or shipment identification conventions should consider business practices, information requirements, and systems capabilities of the trading partners in choosing between Data and Application Identifiers.

Annex K System Identifiers (Informative)

General Section I, Data Identifiers, lists a Category “0” as Special Characters Not Assigned or Control by ASC MH1 10/SC 8. These characters, in a leading position of the data structure, are sometimes referred to as system identifiers, denoting a data structure maintained by the organization claiming this system identifier.

System Data Structure Usage Identifier (See Notes) + Plus sign. Health Industry Business Communications Council (HIBCC) & Ampersand. American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) = Equal sign. International Society for Blood Transfusion (ISBT) FNC1 Function 1. Appears in the first position following the symbology start character of a Code 128, Code 49, or Code 16K Symbol to signify a GS1-controlled symbol R [)> S Left square bracket, right parenthesis, greater than sign, record separator character.

Notes: Certain characters, e.g. FNC 1, have no ISO/IEC 646 (ASCII) equivalent and require special processing for human-readable and universal AIDC media encoding.

R R Certain characters, e.g. the S in [)> S, are difficult to represent in human-readable and may require mutually agreed upon dingbats for the representation in human-readable text.

Certain characters, e.g. the exclamation mark, are not universally encodable in the basic character set of all symbologies, e.g. Code 39.

Controlling authority None of these character uses are covered or controlled by this standard, ANS MH10.8.2. Neither does this standard recommend the use of these system identifiers.

Minimum requirements for inclusion within this Annex For a system identifier to be listed in this annex requires two basic principles: 1. The system identifier must be integral in a specification approved by the governing organization of which the system identifier refers. 2. The specification within which the system identifier is integral must have a maintained URL, permitting open ordering of the specification. Ideally, the specification would be available at no charge.

American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2006 Continuous Maintenance (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

Annex L Data Identifiers for Returnable Packaging Items (RPIs)

L.1 General

The concepts of returnable, reusable, and recyclable are frequently used interchangeably, though conceptually they are quite different. A key underlying concept of difference is ownership, whereby returnable items maintain the original ownership, while the ownership of reusable and recyclable items is transferred between parties. Figure L.1 shows a consumer lifecycle explaining the differences.

Figure L.1 Ð Returnable, reusable, and recyclable lifecycle

L.2 Recyclable item

With a recyclable item, the ownership of the item is transferred when the item is sold. A typical use recyclable item is a battery, which can be disposed at a recycling station and parts of the content can be recycled and used for manufacturing of new batteries.

118 American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2006 Continuous Maintenance (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard

L.2.1 Identification

ISO/IEC 15459-4 addresses unique identification for individual recyclable items (products).

L.3 Reusable item

With a reusable item the ownership of the item is transferred when the item is sold. In some jurisdictions an incentive to return the reusable packaging is provided at the time of purchase, a deposit, which can be recovered when the item is returned to the location from which the item was purchased. A typical use recyclable item is a hard plastic bottle, which can either be reused by the user (i.e. filling the bottle with new content after cleaning it) or disposed at a recycling station and depending on whether its constituents parts can be reused (i.e. cleaned and refilled) or recycled and used for “manufacturing” of new bottles.

L.3.1 Identification

ISO/IEC 15459-4 addresses unique identification for individual reusable items (products).

L.4 Returnable items

With a returnable item the ownership of the item remains with the party providing the item, even though the item is sent to a customer. The supplier retains ownership of the asset with the anticipation that the customer will return the asset once it has served its original purpose A typical use of a returnable item is for transportation of goods where the item can be reused in terms of that the content and carrier can change but the owner is still the same.

L.4.1 Identification

ISO/IEC 15459-5 addresses unique identification for returnable items.

L.5 Returnable Transport Items and Returnable Packaging Items

L.5.1 Overview

Some pallets and returnable boxes are equipped with shock absorbing material to protect them from potential damage occurring during in the transportation and handling process. An effective solution is the use of partitions or sorting boards for separating the contents into appropriate groups, making it possible to place many items on a single pallet or returnable box. This kind of accessory for a pallet or returnable box is defined as a “partition”. The typical example of this is a post-type partition used with the post pallet. Also included in this group is packing material used to place or arrange the contents between the posts, or a packaging material for dividing the inside of the returnable box into several smaller sections.

L.5.2 Partitions

American National Standard ANSI MH10.8.2-2006 Continuous Maintenance (a revision of MH10.8.2-2002) Data Identifier and Application Identifier Standard included in this group is packing material used to place or arrange the contents between the posts, or a packaging material for dividing the inside of the returnable box into several smaller sections.

L.5.3 Posts

Figure L.2 shows a post that is normally used to securely fix packing materials or returnable box on the pallet. Most of these posts are made of high durable substances like plastic or metal.

Figure L.2 Ð Post

L.5.4 Packing materials

Some kind of packing materials should be provided to protect the items from a shock or vibration that may be encountered during transportation, or protect them from being touched or hit by the pallet or returnable box in which they are placed. Most of the packing materials are made of high resilient flexible substances like plastic, urethane, and polystyrene foam. This guideline is applicable to these kinds of packing materials (see Figure L.3 and Figure L.4).

L.5.5 Identification

In Figure L.3, the base pallet is the actual RTI and the moulded plastic layers and posts are the RPIs. If each is serialized, it may be important to associate the RPIs with the parent RTI. In this example, the RTI may have a unique identity of “25BUN0433257110000001”. The four posts might have a unique identity of “25SUN043325711P000001” “25SUN043325711P000002” “25SUN043325711P000003” “25SUN043325711P000004”

. . . and the six plastic layers might have a unique identity of “25SUN043325711L000001” “25SUN043325711L000002” “25SUN043325711L000003” “25SUN043325711L000004” “25SUN043325711L000005” “25SUN043325711L000006”

L.5.5.1 My parent is . . .

One possibility to associate the RPIs with the parent RTI is with the use of the Data Identifier “iF” which declares, “My parent is . . . “ Using this example the 3rd plastic layer would be encoded 25SUN043325711L0000031F25BUN0433257110000001. The other layers and posts would be similarly encoded.

L.5.5.2 My children are . . .

Another possibility to associate the parent RTI with all of its RPIs is with the use of the Data Identifier “2F” which declares, “My children are . . . “ Using the same example the base pallet would be encoded 25BUN04332571100000012F25SUN043325711L0000031F25BUN043325711000000125SUN04332 5711L00000125SUN043325711L00000225SUN043325711L00000325SUN043325711L00000425SUN043325711L00000525SUN043325711L000006“25SUN043325711P00000125SUN043325711P00 000225SUN043325711P00000325SUN043325711P000004

L.5.5.3 I have _____ children

Yet another possibility is to simply identify the number of RPIs associated with the parent RTI using the Data Identifier “3F” which declares, “I have ____ children“. Using the same example the base pallet would be encoded 25BUN04332571100000013F10 Likewise, any combination of the three associative DIs, might be used.
